WHAT TYPES OF RIVERS DO YOU RUN? Class II Rio Ansu: Basically a flatwater stretch ideal for observing the incredible diversity of bird species in the area. Over 500 species have been identified locally. Rivers are natural corridors through the rainforest allowing easy travel where otherwise it would be difficult to get around. A few small splashy rapids keep you from overheating Class III Rio Jatunyacu: In the Quichua language "Jatunyacu" means big water and this river lives up to it's name. A full day of big waves and rainforest scenery. A perfect introduction to rafting the tropical rivers of Ecuador. Class IV+ Misahualli: This run is for those that want a little more action and remoteness in their rivers.
